Blackmore has been my favorite guitarist for years and imagine how freaked I was when I met him in a bar some years ago. Very nice guy (despite his reputation of being a bastard). He bought everyone drinks and talked about soccer all night.

Totally cool bit of real. Thanks.
I know his style within a minute.
When Rainbow disbanded and he announced his plans to do acoustic music. I thought "Ritchie, what are you doing???!!!" but after listening to it, I became an instant fan. He still squeezes a few classic Blackmore riffs into the music. Mastery of the guitar is harder to fake on an acoustic than it is on an electric guitar at maximum volume so I was impressed.
